SAN DIEGO -- A dog who was found on the Viejas Indian Reservation with a bullet wound earlier this week was released from the hospital Friday morning and is continuing to recover at the County Animal Services shelter.

The retriever-mix named "Chance" was found Monday on Viejas Grade Road by a woman who spotted the animal from her car. A single bullet had been fired through his torso. County Animal Services officers rushed the dog to the VCA emergency animal hospital in Mission Valley with an unknown prognosis.

SAN DIEGO -- While Hillcrest is known for its celebrations, the annual Mardi Gras event is like no other! Tonight, Fat Tuesday, thousands of Hilcresters and others are expected to attend the 11th annual street fair taking place on University Avenue at Fourth Avenue from 6 to 11 pm.

SAN DIEGO -- Remember all the wild outfits, those electric boots and his mohair suit? How about the rattle of all those piano keys on the Bitch is Back? Does hearing Rocket Man take you back to a specific moment in time of your youth? Does Your Song make you think of a special someone?

If so, then you will not want to miss "Elton - The Early Years" this Sunday, May 1st at the Dreamcatcher Theater at Viejas.

According to Kenny Metcalf, who portrays "Elton" like a fine tuned piano, Elton - The Early Years is not just a tribute band - it is a tribute show.
